McKim & Creed Moves to Pittsburgh’s Historic Cardello Building

Leading MEP engineering firm relocates to support growth and enhanced client services

PITTSBURGH – Nov. 20, 2024 – McKim & Creed, a leading mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering firm, relocated its Pittsburgh office to the city’s Historic Cardello Building earlier this month. The move aligns with the firm’s commitment to growth and enhanced client services.

Moving into a historic building like the Cardello Building speaks to McKim & Creed’s investment in the Pittsburgh region. Built in 1864, the Cardello Building is grounded in Pittsburgh’s history, like few other downtown office buildings. Originally the home of Excelsior Coffin and Casket Works, the vast production and warehouse space has long since been converted into one of the city’s premiere office spaces.

McKim & Creed’s engineers have transformed many historic buildings in Pittsburgh, such as the Pittsburgh Produce Terminal, Carnegie Music Hall and Iron City Brewery, for over twenty years. Our experts have also engineered state-of-the-art buildings for local healthcare facilities, the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, among many others. Together with our clients, we are building Pittsburgh for the future.

“Many of our engineers are lifelong Pittsburgh residents and we are committed to strengthening our region by finding building, energy, and infrastructure solutions for our clients,” said McKim & Creed Pittsburgh Regional Manager Brad Palmisiano. “Relocating to more centrally located office space puts us closer to our clients, our architectural partners, and many of our project sites.”

Founded in 1978 in Wilmington, N.C., and headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., McKim & Creed operates 25 offices in seven states, including Pittsburgh and Sewickley.
